To investigate the influence of temperature on high-temperature Josephson junctions, this study develops an empirical model that examines the phenomenon across various implementations. We analyze multiple Josephson junctions fabricated using different high-temperature superconducting materials, including YBa₂Cu₃O₇₋δ (YBCO) and Bi₂Sr₂CaCu₂O₈₊δ (BiSCCO), as well as distinct fabrication techniques such as bicrystal and step-edge Josephson junctions. By systematically modeling their behavior under varying thermal conditions, we aim to construct a predictive framework for understanding the temperature dependence of these junctions. The empirical model obtained will be compared with classical theoretical models to assess its accuracy and predictive capabilities. These insights will contribute to optimizing the performance of high-temperature superconducting detectors and advancing their applicability in terahertz sensing and quantum technologies.
